So the gun shoots out of the hilt? I can see why that'd be innacurate when there is no real way to aim properly with it.

I like it, but are the plates of the 'skirt' attached to the belt in any way? Or is it one of those things where once it's printed and reduced in scale you won't be able to see the gaps anyway?
So many projects..... so little time.......

Looks cool to me.

When can we expect new VASA models?

I suspect that once it is printed and cast there won't be any gaps.

Nothing on the table for the VASA at the moment other than the Starfire that was recently released

The star fire was really cool, but I'd love to see a new squad of their general infantry.

Granted the weapon itself doesn't seem to have anything that would work as a targeting device, but technically if it had one it could route the targeting information to the wielder's visor - this being a scifi powered armour suit guy after all. To think of it, it might be possible to extrapolate the targeting point from the position of the weapon if you had a bit more more CPU power available.

You see, "fanboy logic" can solve all problems :P

Heh, true, but I was more thinking that when you reverse the sword to fire out of the hilt, you then have a big power blade against your body. It's not going to cut you but you also can't brace it for an aimed shot, even if you do have targetting recticles in your hud.

The powered armour is there to do the bracing, I imagine o_o
